Incoming Exchange Students

If you are a prospective incoming exchange student to the NUS Business School, please refer to the application instructions. Upon receiving your details from your home university, we will reach out to you with more information on the Online Application.

A typical course at NUS is 4 units. A 4-unit course requires 10 hours of work a week, including lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions, assignments, and independent or group study.

Exchange students must take at least three courses (12 units) and may read up to 20 units in a semester. The 50‑50 rule applies: at least 50% of your total course load must comprise Business School courses.

You will be enrolled in three courses upon offer of admission. Closer to the start of the semester, you must participate in the Course Registration exercise to secure your remaining course load, and for course add/drop.

During the Online Application, only BBA core courses are available. Selected BBA elective courses will be made available during Course Registration exercise. Enrollment in courses offered by other faculties is subject to approval by the respective faculty. Please check with your home university to ensure that courses taken at NUS are recognised by your home university.

Please be flexible with your study plans as course allocation is not guaranteed.
